Recycling Your Vehicle's Battery

At some point, the starter battery in your vehicle will reach the end of its life. Because of the toxic contents batteries contain, you should always recycle your car battery responsibly. Here’s what you can do.

Ask your garage to recycle it

If the battery is replaced at your garage, they may be happy to take the old battery from you for recycling.

Take it to a recycling centre

Your local recycling centre will accept most types of household waste, including vehicle batteries, without charge.

All battery producers in the UK must be registered with the government as part of an EU-wide initiative to increase battery collection and recycling, and completely prohibit the landfill or incineration of automotive and industrial batteries. Vauxhall’s battery producer registration number is BPRN00474.
